Downtrend, coiling near lows · RSI 42 · price 3,987.39
Lower highs into $4,000, compressing above $3,959.
Gold has been in a multi-month downtrend since the mid-March break from the $5,000 area, printing a chain of lower highs and holding below a falling EMA(50) on D1. The last three weeks have compressed into a tight band above the $3,959 swing low as price coils under the $4,000 psychological pivot — the descending-triangle setup flagged by the energy-driven Fed-hike narrative offset by an Iran safe-haven premium. Two probes of the $3,959 area have so far held, keeping the $4,000 pivot as the immediate cap.
Support: 3,941.00
Resistance: 4,000.00, 4,081.00
What it said to watch
- Daily close below 3941 ytd low confirms a fresh lower low
- Sustained close above 4000 psych opens the path toward 4081 prior high
- S&P Global PMIs Fri Jul 24 could materially shift this read

Multi-month downtrend, coiling · RSI 44 · price 3,987.39
Lower highs, lower lows since Feb peak; compressing above $4,000.
Gold has been in a grinding multi-month downtrend since the ~5040 peak in mid-February, shedding roughly 20% through a clean chain of lower highs and lower lows and holding below EMA(50) on D1. The last three weeks have compressed into a descending-triangle apex around the $4,000 psychological pivot, with declining highs pressing toward a flat 3960-3965 base. The energy-driven revival of Fed-hike bets keeps the bias down, while an Iran safe-haven premium has capped the downside just above the 3941 YTD low.
Support: 3,965.00, 3,941.00
What it said to watch
- Daily close below 3965 triangle low opens the path to the 3941 ytd low
- Reclaim of the $4,000 psych pivot and a break of triangle-top resistance would neutralise the downtrend read
- S&P Global PMIs Fri Jul 24 are the key catalyst that could resolve the compression
